Beyond Thunderdome, maybe. I'd prefer super-techno paranoia to proto-techno survivalism.

If you had to choose, would you prefer a political representative who made decisions based on idealism or pragmatism?

Preferably someone large, decently muscled, and only recently killed--I'm assuming that the island wouldn't have a fridge, and I'd want the meat to keep as long as possible. As long as the body fits those parameters I don't much care who it is, as long as I don't know 'em.

What author would you most like to meet?

Philip K Dick or OSC. I guess OSC because I've heard that he's very interesting in person and I don't know if that's true about PKD.

When you first meet someone, what's the first thing that you notice about them that gives you your first impression about them? (personality-wise)

In answer to Tante, probably teleportation, although shapeshifting would be nice too.
